Not always. Ray can attest to the fact that I went to his house to buy 1! egg laying girl to guide the rest. I ended up buying one ugly half molted hen and two pullets and came home with a BCM roo that was picked on by his brothers. So if we were to trace my current obsession it would trace back to the wonderful man we call Ray in PA.

BULLCRAP !

True, you wanted a hen that was laying, but you had to have the silver laced wyandotte too, then you liked the gold laced also, if I remember correctly. I will only admit that I talked you into trying a Roo, then you went all over the state gathering up any chicken that would let you hold it !

Okay ya'll. I'm gonna be on the lookout for some eggies too. Marans and Wellies are on the top of the list. And well I would hatch about most anything right about now. Hopefully gonna hatch some quail out as well. Gonna raise up some wellies for Bruce. Speaking of the devil he should be back online any day now. Was on the phone with him earlier and he said in my current state I should stay away from ebay and maybe even suspend my account temporarily lol. He lost all the wellies he had from whitmore farms. Would like to raise up some more babies. The girls are getting involved.(the two in the pics) the wee one likes the chicks and chickens, but she is not old enough to do much but ask if we are gonna "chicks food?" is what she says to me. The oldest two have started making chick books to track the progress of the chicks. Tonight we tried the father sexing and they are going to track the chicks through notes and pictures to see how they come out.

What was the outcome of your ebay bids, didn't you win any of them ?

And, how many chicks did you get out of your hatch, and how many of them were Marans ?

All I wanted was a hen. Your sweet chicken talk sent me with a SLW and a GLW. Much like a siren to the sailors I was lead straight into more birds. Your chicken song was strong lol. It was you my friend that enabled what has become somewhat of an obsession....or maybe not somewhat lol.

LOL Thankfully and not so thankfully I didn't win any lol. I am still getting outbid notices. With all the notices I have gotten I started adding it up. If I had won them all at the max bids it would have been WELL over the original $200 I thought it was gonna be on eggs........Long story short....drinking and ebay is nearly as bad a drinking and driving. The consequences could be life altering lol.

You not only have heard of Birch Beer, but you know it comes in several
colors.

You know the difference between a cheese steak and a pizza steak sandwich,
and you know that you also can't get a really good one anywhere outside of
the Philly area. (Except maybe in Atlantic City on the boardwalk.)

You can identify drivers from New York, New Jersey, Maryland or other
neighboring states by their unique and irritating driving habits.

A traffic jam in Lancaster County is 10 cars waiting to pass a horse-drawn
carriage on the highway. (And remember ... that’s Lank-ister!)

You know several people who have hit deer more than once.

Driving is always better in winter because the potholes are filled with
snow.

As a kid you built snow forts and leaf piles that were taller than you were.

You know beer doesn't grow in a garden, but you know where to find a beer
garden.

You actually understand all this and send it out to other Pennsylvanians or
former Pennsylvanians. It's scary, isn't it!

YEAH! THAT'S GOOD OL' ‘PA’ AND WE LOVE IT!

And
If You Marry A Pennsylvania Girl ..........

Three friends married women from different parts of the country.....

The first man married a woman from Utah . He told her that she was to do
the dishes and house cleaning. It took a couple of days, but on the third
day, he came home to see a clean house and dishes washed and put away.

The second man married a woman from Lousiana. He gave his wife orders that
she was to do all the cleaning, dishes and the cooking. The first day he
didn't see any results, but the next day he saw it was better. By the third
day, he saw his house was clean, the dishes were done, and there was a huge
dinner on the table.

The third man married a girl from Pa. He ordered her to keep the house
cleaned, dishes washed, lawn mowed, laundry washed, and hot meals on the table
for every meal. He said the first day he didn't see anything, the second
day he didn't see anything but by the third day, some of the swelling had
gone down and he could see a little out of his left eye, and his arm was healed
enough that he could fix himself a sandwich and load the dishwasher. He
still has some difficulty when he pees.
